We had disabled this option before updating to our latest Anniversary update by doing some registry
tweaks but it was restored after Windows 10 Anniversary Update Which lead me to rewrite this post
with proof how it works...
It involves creating a new registry key.Even if you don't know anything about registry don't worry
